What Causes Blood In Sputum And Severe Cough?
Hi, I have seen a few blood sports on my pillow this morning (and a week ago as well) and I am worried about it. I have seen a doctor who though it could relate to reflux. So, I am taking medicine (a week now). Bu, it happens again. I have being have morning cough with a lot of sputum. I have also had X-Ray a month ago on my chest, and it was OK. So, please help me. Thanks. Li

Hi,
Little blood with a cough is not most for the times, if not for long time, its mostly caused by inflammation in the upper airway.
However, in the context of your chronic cough, and sputum, it needs to be evaluated properly to rule out lung problems. So I understand you should see a respiratory doctor for proper assessment and management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
